Reporting back the results of my attempts to achieve low latency on an 
older Celeron laptop with a 5400RPM hard drive.

Any buffer size smaller than 1024 causes xruns. With my UCA202 USB sound 
card, that makes 64msec latency the lowest I can get right now. Although 
I'm not sure the RT setup on that laptop is fully configured properly ...
